As a result of the increased digestibility of a raw-food diet, you are able to feed your pet less food daily. Our suggestion is to feed your pet based on the 2-3% rule. Feed 2-3% of your pet's body weight daily. Our cups-per-pound recommendations are based on a ratio of 2.5%. We recommend feeding your pet twice daily, so you should divide the total daily feeding weight in half and feed once in the morning and once in the evening.

I sprinkle this over my cats wet food to encourage them to eat. It works very well! Sometimes I add water and mix with wet food and then sprinkle more on top. This raw product has a lot of meat and it is in a form that I find easy to serve. All three of my cats love the Chicken and Salmon Formula. And it's from a company I trust.

I inherited this very prissy little kitty (age 12 years) from my mom who passed away. Although I'm not much of a cat person, I wanted her to have the absolute best. She had been eating a supermarket food which she loved but I wanted to give her better. We started a higher quality no grain canned food and she began throwing up several times a week. I switched to PRIMAL and my cat adores it. Eats it immediately, no grazing and no more throwing up. She has turned her nose up at the turkey. Only eats the Beef and Salmon. I'm hoping to be able to mix different proteins in, but at the rate she's going there's nothing different she'll eat, not even additives of other raw freeze dried flavors. I hope it's not a problem that protein isn't rotated!

My cat loves this product. The only negative besides being a bit pricey is that it is dehydrating. Even though I soak the bricks overnight before feeding, my cats stools are a lot smaller and harder. Which shows me it's dehydrating. Good for a change up once in a while.

High quality food. My three indoor cats love it. I've seen a huge difference in the softness of their coats, energy levels, and also a lot less waste in the litter pan. I have three indoor cats, and if I could afford it I would toss the cans completely - I generally mix it with high quality canned just to keep cost down a bit.

The blocks hydrate best when crushed and using warm water. I also use more water than is recommended on the package. I crush the blocks with the bottom of the cup I use for the water, or just break it up with a fork. It's not a big deal. And all three kitties are happy.

My senior pet w/thyroid and kidney issues is very picky and his med sometimes knocks out his appetite. I found that by using dehydrated raw like this brand is an excellent way to keep him bit more interested. Pro: Convenient size, can change consistency to soupy for delicate teeth. This flavor's bricks, however, are tough to break. The other flavor (hope it's carried here eventually) of chicken and salmon is much easier to crush. Salmon component comes from salmon oil, not raw fish (which is detrimental to cat's health and destroys vitamin B). I never leave in the fridge for more than a day but judging by other brands it is ok to do for up to three days (consistently across all). I use home-made defatted nutritional bone marrow broth to reconstitute for extra vitamins/minerals and always use warm liquid - it's faster and helps my cat smell it. Along with Avanti renal powder and enzyme powder from Only Natural Pet I feel his is getting the most nutrition a senior cat needs. Recommendation is 4 bricks/day for a 10lb cat but mine gets 6 since he's older and his nutritional needs are closer to a kitten's. I use it as a part of a rotation so he does not get bored and well worth the money. Not all cats like the same consistency and I would recommend testing out different amounts of liquid. If you are looking for a raw dehydrated that you may feed through a syringe if needed, this is great - particularly the chicken flavor. I do like that there are no bone shard chunks as I've found in another brand (from New Zeland with green muscles) which he liked but the bone pieces were just too big and not a good thing for renal cats. I hope this helps. Raw protein is excellent for cats with renal problems. All studies underwritten by Hills and others in business for peddling vet-prescribed low protein diets are based on cooked protein. High raw protein has been shown to be low strain on the kidneys, low in phosphorus. He refused to eat the overpriced K/D. Now, his readings are excellent and holding steady, he eats well and I don't have to make my own raw all the time. When caring for an older pet every little bit counts and feeding best possible diet helps manage vet bills and add to his life quality. I'm glad that we found that balance.

There are no instruction on how much water to add, how long it will last in fridge, etc. I have tried several ways, but not had success with feeding my cats yet. Also , once frozen, the pellets are difficult to separate to only prepare a little at a time.

My cats practically inhale the Primal freeze dried formulas! For some reason they prefer the flavor of the freeze dried to the frozen raw Primal food. It may be that the food is served room temperature, rather than cold from the fridge.

I know Primal uses great grain free nutritious ingredients and that this is one of the best foods I can feed my cats. I have been feeding Primal for nine months now and have noticed a big improvement in digestive health. The longer haired cats also almost never produce hairballs any more. Before feeding Primal, I used to find at least one hairball a week. It's been months since I've seen one!

Yes, you do have to crush the nuggets up into a bowl and add warm water. I don't find this particularly difficult to do. Especially when I consider the health benefits for my cats. The food is a bit pricey, to be sure. I cannot feed it full time, but I do it as as I can afford.

Primal is an excellent quality food and if your cat likes the taste, I highly recommend it!
